The garrison general ran over, holding a large pile of intelligence information, and put it in front of him, Wan Dou Ni blinked at him, "Where is the defense of that force in Phoenix Town?" ”

The garrison general said: "Where is the headquarters of the ordinary militia brigade, where are the two thousand ordinary militia in total to defend, where is we also have a battalion, and at the same time there is a battalion of the Ninth Field Division, and now the Ninth Field Division Brigade has been transferred to Heyang Town to garrison to protect the security of the flank of the corps, and at the same time monitor the enemy on the opposite bank, and also communicate with an elite militia brigade transferred from Henan Prefecture to Yulin Township on the other side of the mountain." Further up is an ordinary militia brigade of the Bagyalu Corps, which was under the control of our corps some time ago and was transferred to the upstream ferry. ”

Wan Douni nodded slightly and said: "You are like this, send soldiers and horses, don't send them together, send them one by one, let them wear military uniforms and go to various places, go halfway to find a hidden place to change into the clothes of ordinary villagers, hide weapons and equipment, and then find a small road to quietly transport them back, and people will also come back, let everyone disperse, in twos and threes, don't let the enemy recognize them, give the enemy a false impression that you are constantly sending soldiers and horses to reinforce various places, of course, you can't do it all, a small number of people still have to be sent out to reinforce." ”

The garrison general stared at him, not knowing which game he was going to play?

Wan Douni didn't explain to him either, "You plan the specific situation, start to execute it after half an hour, send fewer people during the day, send real reinforcements, send more people at night, send people out, send real troops as little as possible, and find a way to transport the weapons back." ”

The garrison general frowned and said, "You mean that we let the enemy think that the soldiers and horses in the county have been sent out, and the county is empty?" ”

Wan Douni nodded, "Yes, the enemy must have thought of a plan, they attacked all over the place just to let us disperse our forces, let's let them think they have succeeded, let them see their details, and then we will surprise them then." By the way, how many soldiers and horses are there in the county? ”

The garrison general thought for a while, "Two thousand garrison soldiers and horses at the headquarters, two hundred servants and catchers, and one thousand fifteen hundred soldiers, plus a regiment from you, 1,800 troops, we have almost 4,000 soldiers to fight, 1,700 reserves, if you can, transfer back the three hundred soldiers and one battalion of 500 people in the nearest town, almost 5,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Wan Douni said to the garrison general: "Can you contact that battalion of the Ninth Field Division?" Remind them that the enemy is likely to plot to attack them, and you dismantle a thousand troops in the rear to reinforce them, and at the same time transfer a thousand soldiers and horses from the villages near the ordinary brigade of the militia brigade to reinforce them.

I estimate that the enemy's main purpose is not to attack our county, but mainly to make the other side think that we are in danger by attacking us, so they will send troops and horses to reinforce us.

You take those drawn troops and horses and let them set off at night, sneak to the edge of the Phoenix ferry, and wait for the enemy attack to begin, so that they can quickly rush into Phoenix to reinforce them, or strike the enemy's stragglers on the periphery. ”

He stared at the garrison general and asked, "Got it?" ”

The garrison general was thoughtful, and saluted for a while, "Understood, I'll go and carry it out." ”

Wan Douni touched his forehead, although he used to be a staff officer of the corps, and so was Tianying, but now he is the temporary commander of the regiment, so nominally he can't give orders anywhere, even if he informs, people have to report to the headquarters of the Ninth Field Division.

Only after the two sides contact can he accept his order, and his order must be signed by the chief of staff, and the corps commander Mei Linyu can sign and agree before he can order, this toss will be a long time, he can only say that let the captain of the militia elite brigade of the garrison inform him that he is a direct leader and can command the ordinary militia brigade where.

On the border of the Chinese Kingdom, there are militia ordinary brigades and militia elite brigades, which cooperate with the fighting forces.

On the contrary, the garrison brigade is armed with local security and does not belong to the ranks of the combat army.

At present, the XPCC can mobilize the garrison brigade of Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, which belongs to the theater of operations, to participate in the operation, but the garrison brigade in Henan Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet Military Department, and can only cooperate with the operation, and cannot be transferred.

Zhang Qiang divided military power very carefully, because he was afraid that there would be a warlord usurping power.

The garrison brigade is also a strong armament, if the garrison brigade is armed, it is also a big mess, the general troops can not eliminate them, so the control is extremely strict, now Xuanyuan Longfei is transferred to the commander of the garrison headquarters, promoted to the superintendent, for him to master the garrison, after all, the party leader is the rest of the Dashun army, he has no one before, can only use him as the garrison commander, but the official position is only a general soldier.

After arranging everything, Wan Douni waited for the enemy to take the bait, but what he waited for first was other bad news, and after a while, a squad leader of the militia brigade ran over, "General, general, the garrison let me inform you, the soldiers of the ordinary militia brigade of a squad we sent out were attacked by the enemy cavalry on the mountain road near the county seat, twenty people came back, five people, two chiefs were killed, and the captains all came back." ”

Wan Douni didn't bother to take care of him, and waved his hand, "I know, let's go down." ”

The team leader looked at Wan Douni and walked out very embarrassed.

Wan Douni was actually worried about the army led by Tianying, as for the other troops who went out to pretend to be reinforcements, he was not worried, this was inevitable, since the enemy had carefully monitored here, it was natural that the loss of men and horses would go out.

At this time, Celestial Shadow was also depressed, and as soon as he left the city, he was ambushed by the enemy, and a troop of cavalry of about thirty men rushed towards them, brandishing sabers, and shooting at them with bows and arrows, and arquebuses, as well as short fiery, and since they had been in a marching column, he had also been careless, and thus suffered some losses.

The infantry company was first attacked by the enemy from the rear in the rear, rushing down from the slope of a hill of several tens of meters, and when the militia company got off the gun from the shoulder, hurriedly loaded, the enemy's cavalry had rushed to the front, seven or eight bows and arrows came at once, and the militia behind had not raised their guns, and five or six people fell, and then the enemy's cavalry took away the heads of seven or eight militiamen with sabers, and wounded four or five militiamen with short firearms, and suddenly they suffered casualties on the ground, and the militia company of 200 people scattered at once, and four or five guns fired. Hit an enemy cavalryman in the head, killing the enemy instantly.

The other enemies all turned and rushed to the middle of the ranks, and only then did their cavalry company react, rushing back from the front, and bumping into several militiamen, the horses charged, swept the people, and the people were also injured, so their own people caused two casualties, and the other three were not in the way, and they got up and raised their guns to fight the enemy with the other comrades.

And the enemy's cavalry turned around and ran.

The cavalry company pursued all the way, and returned in about ten minutes, reporting only five enemy killed and three wounded and captured, that is, from the beginning to the end, thirty casualties on one's own side, and about ten casualties on the enemy.

This made Celestial Shadow very depressed, and immediately ordered the battle formation, searched and advanced, sent five cavalry to the front to reconnoiter the front, sent two cavalry guards to the rear, and the rest of the men guarded the infantry company on the left and right flanks,

He was carrying a cavalry company of a field division and an infantry company of an elite militia brigade.

But it can't be a reason to be attacked by the enemy and still have no reaction, which makes Celestial Shadow feel very angry, the enemy is so cunning, he is so stupid, careless.

But now he didn't dare to send people to send the wounded soldiers and corpses back to the county seat, he still had to go to reinforce Dawang Town, mainly to save the squad of the militia's elite brigade.

The soldiers could only move forward with the corpses and the wounded, so that the morale became low, and everyone hurried away with their heads down.

At this time, Sky Shadow also sensed that this was an enemy conspiracy, and tried to surround the point to send reinforcements, so he was more careful next.

At this time, high on a mountain peak, a Qing army pipe band, looking into the distance with a monocular, from here you can see that the troops of Tianying are approaching the surrounded militia squad.
